Co-Creating the Future through Localization of the SDGs, Youth Engagement and Digital Innovation

The organizers aim to contribute to youth focused SDGs implementation in the context of the UN SDG Summit 2023 and the UN Summit of the Future 2024. The conference, exhibit and reception will serve as a space to present existing and planned digital tools/solutions for youth focused local SDG action and climate action empowerment and for the formation of a #Digital4Youth multi-stakeholder partnership for the collaborative development of the necessary global technological infrastructure/ecosystem (digital identity management, youth climate action reporting framework, digital measurement-reporting-verification, crowd-evaluation, global challenges action registry; (NFT) marketplace, participatory multilevel governance tools, digital finance, metaverse/VR/AR solutions, data collection/citizen science, education, gamification, ….) for effective youth/citizens’ engagement and empowerment in local SDGs implementation.
